...Louis-born Marilyn Morheuser entered the Roman Catholic Sisters of Loretto. After 16 years as a nun, she left the order to become a civil rights worker in Milwaukee. "I was happy," she recalls of her convent life. "But it was like being in a box with windows in it. You can see things happening outside. You want to help, but you can't, because you're inside...
...wears nylons and smokes an occasional cigarette, but Soeur Sourire still feels the effects of the cloister even though she has left the Dominican convent outside Brussels to pursue a secular career as a pop singer. "I am not yet ready to face audiences," smiled Janine Deckers, 38, the singing nun who now goes by the name of Luc-Dominique.

...drab, two-story building on Montevideo's bustling Boulevard España looks as quiet as a convent. It is hardly that. Inside is the Soviet Union's biggest embassy in Latin America and the clearinghouse for Soviet propaganda and subversion in the Southern Hemisphere. Up to now, the Uruguayan government has never bothered to interfere. But suddenly last week Uruguay's ruling nine-man National Council cracked down, ordering four Soviet embassy officers out of the country and serving notice on the others to watch their step...
